DIACAP Transition Training

Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP) has replaced the previous standard, DITSCAP (Defense Information Technology Security Certification and Accreditation Process), across all branches, services, combatant commands and agencies in the DoD. DIACAP establishes the standard DoD process for identifying, implementing and validating Information Assurance (IA) Controls for authorizing the operation of DoD information systems and for managing the IA posture across DoD information systems consistent with Title III of the E-Government Act, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), DoDD 8500.1 and DoDI 8500.2. The DIACAP Training is an intensive team-building awareness workshop presenting principles for accomplishing the C&A process for DoD information systems previously accredited using DITSCAP, transitioning to DIACAP, or initiating a DIACAP accreditation effort. We provide examples, exercises, and a comprehensive Resource Kit. This training presents the most up to date concepts, tools and examples. You will learn the concepts and theories required to develop and complete your DIACAP Package on the Information System (IS) under your control. You will understand that the DIACAP Package is the certification package that will define the direction that will be followed during the entire C&A effort. We will discuss how and where you begin to identify all supporting documents to include the System Identification Profile, Implementation Plan, Validation Results, Supporting Artifacts, DIACAP Scorecard, and the Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M).

During this 5 day workshop you will learn:

  • How to apply basic risk management concepts
  • How to model C&A methodology (DITSCAP/DIACAP) requirements
  • The roles and responsibilities of a certifier, program manager, user representative, and designated accrediting authority (understanding is essential to a successful accreditation effort)
  • How to understand C&A requirements and processes for any system, regardless of life-cycle status
  • How to define accreditation boundaries for systems to focus test and analysis activities
  • How to understand accreditation requirements and define type of accreditation applicable to system (type accreditation, site accreditation, system accreditation)
  • How to make tailoring decisions throughout the C&A process
  • How to understand Accreditation decision making process and the implications of full accreditation, interim approval to operate/test, and disapproval
